Ethicon Chromic Gut Suture with CT-2 Taperpoint needle is a natural absorbable monofilament suture treated with chromic salts to extend tensile strength retention through the critical early phases of tissue healing. The CT-2 taperpoint needle provides smooth, atraumatic tissue penetration for general surgical closure and soft tissue applications where a compact round-bodied needle profile is required.

Key Features:

• Chromic Gut Composition: Natural collagen-based suture treated with chromic salt solution to delay enzymatic absorption, providing extended tensile strength retention compared to plain gut and supporting reliable wound support through the early healing phase.
• Absorbable Material: Fully absorbed by the body through enzymatic degradation, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing post-operative patient visits in appropriate clinical indications.
• CT-2 Taperpoint Needle: The round-bodied taperpoint profile is designed for smooth, atraumatic passage through soft tissue, separating tissue fibers rather than cutting them to minimize trauma and reduce the risk of tissue tearing.
• 1/2 Circle, 26mm Needle: The compact 26mm needle in a 1/2 circle curvature provides precise control and maneuverability suited for general surgical soft tissue closure in moderate operative fields.
• Monofilament Construction: Single-strand design reduces tissue drag, minimizes bacterial wicking, and supports smooth passage through tissue for improved handling throughout the closure procedure.
• Multiple Size Options: Available in sizes 2-0 and 3-0 to accommodate varying tissue types, wound tension requirements, and closure techniques across surgical applications.
• 27" Suture Length: Ample length accommodates a broad range of wound closure techniques and tissue configurations without requiring mid-procedure suture changes.
